Zanka is far from unanimous in Anderlecht. The scouting unit was not enthusiastic when he arrived.
Jesper Fredberg appeared more and more isolated Anderlecht. The confirmation of David Hubert by Wouter Vandenhaute made the situation more and more untenable and pushed the sports director to leave faster than expected.
Since his departure, tongues have been loosened, particularly regarding his stubbornness on certain issues. The Dane was surrounded but went it alone: ”He had zero contact with the scouting unit, he never listened to it” explains journalist Xavier Thirion.
Not all Danes are success stories
“The best example is Loop : all the lights in the scouting cell were red, but he still took it” he reveals in the Tof Sport podcast.
In hindsight, the fears prove to be well-founded. If his arrival seemed promising at first glance due to his great international experience, his ability to immediately strengthen a decimated defense and his good understanding with Brian Riemer, the 34-year-old player is struggling.
Zanka cruelly pays for his lack of rhythm accumulated at Brentfordits slowness not helping matters. But he only signed until the end of the season at Sporting.
